From linguistics to philosophy then to the science,under the guidelines of the human being,metaphor repeatedly has extended its own boundaries. All the metaphors of poetry and literature in linguistics,the truth and the metaphors in philosophy,together with the interactive extension of scientific boundaries,have extended and developed the metaphorical boundaries in turn.Every extension of metaphor's boundary is essentially self-transcendence of human wisdom.
